As much as I want partial birth abortion to be banned, I am having a really hard time seeing how this was an issue for Congress to take up.

Here you have Congress passing legislation which is their job. This offsets an activist judicial branch which should have never passed a ruling to keep the States from banning abortion. Your post is yet another example why rules-based Libertarians can not be entrusted with running government. They have SFB.

So you don’t think Congress should follow any “rules” and just pass any legislation they want? I wonder if you’ll be saying that when Congress does their “job” and bans all guns. Who cares about that pesky little Second Amendment rule? I am nowhere near a libertarian but I have read the Constitution and understand the concept of federalism which is not a difficult one to grasp. Congress used the Commerce Clause to justify passing this legislation and that is wrong, just as the Court was wrong to strike down the ban in the Nebraska case (which they wouldn’t do now with Alito on the Court).
